	  char	       *Source;
	  unsigned int OldSize;
	  unsigned int NewSize;

PARAMETERS
       Source		   Pointer to the memory block to be resized.

       OldSize		   Old size of the memory block.

       NewSize		   New size of the memory block.

DESCRIPTION

	       char * s;
	    {
	       t = (char *)autresizeblock( t, strlen(t)+1, strlen(t)+strlen(s)+1);
